The history of gangsta rap. From its origins to the present day

Against the backdrop of gangster activity, an epidemic of Crak and the cruelty of the police, one group cut through the chaos of the late 1980s of Los Angeles: N.W.A. Led by drug dealer, glamorous producer and high school student, N.W.A. They expressed their opinion about modern society, becoming the voice of all disenfranchised African Americans. And they also quickly changed pop culture around the world. Their names remain as popular as before: EAZY-E, DR. Dre and Ice Cube. Soon, DRE combined the efforts with the Suge Knight to create the Death Row Records studio, which turned Snoop Dogg and Tupac Sriakur into superstar.
Ben Westkhoff explores as N.W.A. She transferred the balance of hip-hop from New York to Los Angeles. He shows how the shocking success of the group leads to rivalry between participants, recording labels and, ultimately, to the war between the fractions of the eastern and western coast. Hip-hop burst into dominant America during huge social changes and has become the most dominant musical movement over the past thirty years.
